"Gustavo was recommended to me by a friend who had an excellent job done for her with kitchen cabinet painting and a bathroom painting. Gustave painted 6 new interior doors for me and the molding around the doors. I was so impressed that I hired him to paint my house exterior. He did a wonderful job with power washing, priming, patching and paint. He does spectacular work for a good, fair price. He is also very courteous and prompt."

"Joe's crew did an amazing job painting the interior of our home. It was a big project that required lots of attention to detail- I am a very picky person when it comes to quality and detail. An excellent paint job requires lots of preparation and Joe's team delivered. We highly recommend Element Painting."

"It was fabulous dealing with Wilson at Professional Painting. It’s nice to have someone come in, immediately get to work, and finish leaving the room clean, all the while doing a tremendous job with the painting. Hassle-free from the booking all the way to completion of the job!"

"Perez Painting was contracted to resurface and paint our patio structure and wooden features on the front of the house. All interactions went very smooth - from defining and quoting the project, down to timely execution of the 2 day project. As well, they went over and above the contact to paint other small areas that were not included in the original quote. They wanted everything to match. Their team worked very efficiency to get the project done on time. We have more painting projects in the schedule. Perez Painting will be the only call I will make. My wife and I were very happy with the results."

"Specialty Design Coatings company Highly recommend! Quick service & very trustworthy. Worked with Kavehsay Yar (owner) Specialty Design Coatings, and his team of expert painters led by Antonio Padilla. Both men were very knowledgeable about other potential issues before getting into the actual job of painting my house and refreshing (staining and sealing) my homes entry sidewalk. Antonio's team was very professional and were great to work with. They were always on time and finished the job when they promised. Their work was excellent and they cleaned up after each days work and also a thorough cleanup when the project was completed. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing an excellent painting team and company."

"This was a full interior paint job; walls, ceilings and a fireplace, 4.5 days. The painters were always on time, professional and friendly. A last minute change of one wall color was handled on the spot, without hesitation. Have already recommended Thomas and crew to others!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Cerritos, CA

You'll need about two gallons of paint to fully cover your kitchen cabinets with two coats. Since each gallon covers around 350 square feet, it's a good idea to measure your cabinets or use a paint calculator to determine exactly how much you'll need. Starting with one or two coats of primer and then applying two to three layers of paint will give you a flawless, durable finish. Using high-quality paint can reduce the number of coats needed and provide a long-lasting finish.

The best type of paint for your kitchen cabinets is latex paint because it applies evenly and creates a durable finish. If you're painting wood surfaces and need extra adhesion, acrylic paint is a great alternative. We don't recommend oil-based paint for residential use due to its VOC emissions. For finishes, go with eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss, or satin, as matte finishes aren't as durable or as easy to clean.

The best method for painting kitchen cabinets is spray painting because it gives you a smooth, even finish without brush strokes. While brushes and rollers can work, they often leave marks and require more effort. If you're aiming for a professional look, spray painting is your best bet to enhance the beauty and durability of your cabinets.
